public class TableGenerator
extends TransactionHelper
implements PersistentIdentifierGenerator, Configurable

An enhanced version of table-based id generation.

Unlike the simplistic legacy one (which, btw, was only ever intended for subclassing support) we "segment" the table into multiple values. Thus a single table can actually serve as the persistent storage for multiple independent generators. One approach would be to segment the values by the name of the entity for which we are performing generation, which would mean that we would have a row in the generator table for each entity name. Or any configuration really; the setup is very flexible.

In this respect it is very similar to the legacy MultipleHiLoPerTableGenerator in terms of the underlying storage structure (namely a single table capable of holding multiple generator values). The differentiator is, as with SequenceStyleGenerator as well, the externalized notion of an optimizer.

NOTE that by default we use a single row for all generators (based on DEF_SEGMENT_VALUE). The configuration parameter CONFIG_PREFER_SEGMENT_PER_ENTITY can be used to change that to instead default to using a row for each entity name.

Configuration parameters:

NAME DEFAULT DESCRIPTION
TABLE_PARAM DEF_TABLE The name of the table to use to store/retrieve values
VALUE_COLUMN_PARAM DEF_VALUE_COLUMN The name of column which holds the sequence value for the given segment
SEGMENT_COLUMN_PARAM DEF_SEGMENT_COLUMN The name of the column which holds the segment key
SEGMENT_VALUE_PARAM DEF_SEGMENT_VALUE The value indicating which segment is used by this generator; refers to values in the SEGMENT_COLUMN_PARAM column
SEGMENT_LENGTH_PARAM DEF_SEGMENT_LENGTH The data length of the SEGMENT_COLUMN_PARAM column; used for schema creation
INITIAL_PARAM DEFAULT_INITIAL_VALUE The initial value to be stored for the given segment
INCREMENT_PARAM DEFAULT_INCREMENT_SIZE The increment size for the underlying segment; see the discussion on Optimizer for more details.
OPT_PARAM depends on defined increment size Allows explicit definition of which optimization strategy to use
